Yes, In some people minds that is the case. Do you think that is a big own on me? I agree, those guys shouldn't be doing that because they look like idiots. However at the same tim…

I was being hyperbolic because people seem to be overstating the cost of a cleaner. I used to pay my Spainish cleaners about €20 euros a week for two cleaners. Granted that was whi…

As I said. I am not interested in any of this. I am glad you find it useful, but I have the level of technology I am comfortable with.

If getting a small vacuum out quickly is a big mental load, I dunno what to say to that. It all seems like it isn't necessary. It is like having a smart fridge or something that pr…

The point being made is that some people like to make much a do about nothing. Just put the dog or cat temporarily in the other room, outside and the problem is solved.

Your reply is exactly the preachy response that causes people to be defiant and resentful. > Yes, people do all sorts of nasty and cruel things because they think it's kinda amusin…

Exactly. I never ever seen it used in any other way.

Ok fair enough.

Because it is relatively expensive, totally unnecessary and decadent and probably doesn't do a particularly good job (as people have admitted in their replies to me). Additionally …

I am English and the phrasing used is a backhanded way to tell you to shut-up and go away. I've seen it used by both native and non-native speakers in this manner. It is about 50/5…

You always get a comment like this. I don't particularly agree. There are pros and cons to either approach The tooling in a lot of languages and frameworks expects you to use an OR…

ORMs have better support I've found in the past (at least in .NET and Go) for Postgres. Especially around date types, UUIDs and JSON fields IIRC.

Firstly, I love the straw-man. I am fine with length and the more story driven approach if it is warranted. More often than not I do not believe it is warranted. Secondly, I am all…

Cats aren't that bothered by vacuum cleaners unless you come at them with it and they normally just run into another room. Never seen a dog that bothered by them.

It is an annoying writing style that is done on a lot of sites in both news articles and "stories" as you call them.

You could change your attitude. A vacuum cleaner is already a labour saving device

Considering some of these things can cost almost £1000. This firmly then lives in the total waste of money pile then. I will stick with my £50 tesco vacuum thank you.

It is well known passive aggressive corporate phrase to shut people up. Who it is used by is largely irrelevant, it almost always means the same thing.
